This is an awesome way for me to cut down my workout time! I'm a SAHM, and my girls just had winter break. My gym has day care, but I found I couldn't do my normal workout *and* shower in the time allotted. So, I'm looking for combination exercises to reduce my time before spring break. Thanks for posting this. I tried them out just a few minutes ago, could totally feel it, so this is going to work out really well! :)
@Lovenyouu01 Wrong type of exorcise, this will make you gain weight by building muscle. For weight loss you want running or cycling, swimming, anything like that
@GeorgeMaier - I disagree, as would most people who know anything about fitness. The exercises that one would do to build muscle burn calories in addition to muscles mass burning more calories than if your body had smaller muscles or just plain body fat. BTW.. . It's 'exercise', not 'exorcise', unless you're talking about casting out demons (which isn't really related to crunches).
First, how much do you weigh? If are you 200 pounds, you need to do 5 hours of crunches. You can split them up, but you must reach 5 hours. Meaning the clock moves only when you do the crunches.
hey!great video just wonderin ill be 14 in the next two weeks im about 8 stone and im 5'2 do you know if doing crunches could stunt your growth or sit ups or press ups and what about 3kg or 4kg underarm dumbell lifts(i do 40-50 a day)SO COULD IT STUNT MY GROWTH PLEASE RESPOND-by the way i dont have any equipment or stuff and i dont go the gym i just workout at home.
Oh, boy, that is REALLY a good one! Tomorrow, wonder how many I'll be able to do...so simple, don't know why I didn't think of it myself, looks like it will do wonders.
if people think sit-ups actually work on your abs more... do 20 of these and 20 sit-ups... and you will be able to tell straight away which one was burning ur abs harder. My Tailbone kills from all those past stupid sit-ups lol
Situps aren't a good ab exercise. After the 1st third of travel...it's almost all hip flexor activation.
What I don't like about the video:
a) It doesn't tell you how to breathe during the reps
b) The "suck in your gut" advice is sort of misleading. You want to exhale during the lift. A better way to get people to do the correct movement is to say "the chest should lead the motion...not the head/neck".
Very true no one should give him a thumbs down it's true, sit ups work the hip flexors, because your going higher than the abs can go, so you engage the hips the crunches dont have that range of motion so it concentrated on the core muscles, most notably abs.
The only thing which is wrong in this vid is that you shouldnt lay your head to the ground,when you do that,the tension will be lost and that would be suck >_>
Are crunches really that much more effective than sit-ups? Whats a good number to do on a daily basis, and how long before I will see some small results? Thanks to whoever has the answer.
I dont do crunches on a daily basis but here's the way I do them: I do the most I can, then I take a 5-10 seconds pause, I do the third of that, another 5-10 seconds pause and the third again.
For example: I do 36, 5sec pause, 12, 5 sec pause and then 4.
And the time before you see results really depends on how much body fat you have. If you want to have a cut shape you better just burn the fat and do cardio training.
They do excercise the stomach the first 30 degrees but once the back is off the ground, the hip flexors are being activated and the stomach muscles are no longer being used.

how many of these a day would you have to do until you got a flat stomach? or so u can actually see a six-pack ?
Jigsaw6677 1 year ago
@Jigsaw6677 Probably 500+ for 6 months. 6 pack is hard xD
But this is what I do. Watch T.V. for an hour. Do 20 sit ups every 2.5 mins. 1 hour = approx 400 crunches.

Flat stomach = cardio. Crunches = abs.
If you're sore from an ab workout, you don't really want to do them the next day

you have to keep your head on a horizontal line. Take a point at the seeling and fix while doing the crunches.

Youre destroying your muscles. 3 times 12 crunches is more than enough. Remember to do them very slowly and controlled ;-)

sit ups are not that good for your back, that's why people often make crunches, even if situps are more efficient...
but if you are patient, and want to have an unburden back its better to make crunches.
